She wants a life filled with more than shadows. Being captured by a human, not to mention falling in love with one, is not part of her plan.

He regarded her with a curious expression, and suddenly she realized he’d
dropped his guard. If she lunged for his sword and used it on him before he had a chance
to react…
But that wouldn’t work. If she managed to defeat him, she would still be trapped
in these chains… Or would she?
The chance to attack came and went as he took a step away from her, resting his
palm defensively on the pommel of his sword, more for the werewolf than for her, she
Assumed.
“How does a vampire turn someone?” he asked.
She recognized the question from his field journal, which made much more sense
now that she understood the context spurring his curiosity regarding vampires. “Why do
you want to know?”
“Because…I have been both bitten and scratched, yet nothing has happened to
me. I don’t…understand.”

“You assume I’m more loyal to you than to my kind?” she asked, drumming her
fingers against her folded arms, regarding the blood hunter coolly. “Some might call
giving such information an act of betrayal. I would rather see your eyes turn red because
of the mess you found yourself in by capturing me. Now that would be an interesting turn
of events.”
He sighed, weariness showing in his eyes she hadn’t seen there before. “Just tell
Me.”
“How about something better? I can show you,” she said, smiling evilly as she
sprouted her fangs from where they hid in her gums. She approached him slowly until she
backed him against the wall of the cave. Delicious fear lived in his eyes despite his brave
front. However, before she could get any closer, he lifted his sword between them, the
point an inch away from cutting into her dress.

“Oi! The Watch, run!”
Kaidyn’s ears had caught it, too—the clinking of steel as a patrol wandered nearby, perhaps attracted
by the sounds of their struggle. No others could walk the city streets openly armed, even by day. Not that
Kaidyn wanted to stick around any longer than his attackers. He had no wish to be locked up for the
night either.
The man directly in front of him seized him by the collar of his shirt. “Something to remember me by,”
he muttered, and Kaidyn knew his mouth was open but couldn’t hear his own gasp as he was dealt a
final blow. The hit wasn’t in his stomach again, as he’d been expecting, but at the side of his head. It felt
like an object struck him, not merely a fist, but something blunt and hard. He felt the blood begin to drip
from the base of his skull and trickle down his neck. The world wavered around him as the last of the
men ran off. Cowards, all.
Kaidyn took an uneven step, then several more. He tilted toward the ground but did not fall. Luck.
Where is Luck? I have to find him, before…
He was still so angry, but his thoughts were leaking out of him along with the blood, the dizziness
beginning to con-sume them. If I don’t hurry…
The stars were wheeling somewhere above him. When did I fall to the ground? He tried to search for
a familiar landmark, but his sight was failing him. Kaidyn had either drank too much or been hit too hard.
“Oh!” Kaidyn heard a gasp, but it had not come from him. It wasn’t Luck, either. He tried to get up, to
defend himself once more, but his hands met only empty air.
“I’m not going to hurt you, I promise—”
Kaidyn growled, his tone low and furious.
“All right, all right,” the voice soothed him. “I’ll just wait until you’re ready to walk again, shall I?” The
unknown per-son sounded sympathetic. Gentle, even, and impossibly, unbearably kind. But that must
have been in his head, because surely nobody who saw Kaidyn in his current state could be anything but
disappointed, disgusted, or a combination of the two.
“It’s going to be all right,” the voice continued, and to Kaidyn’s astonishment he felt a cool hand
touching his brow, brushing wisps of hair from his forehead. He could not remember the last time he had
been touched with such tenderness. “I have you. You’re safe now. I won’t leave you alone here.”
Kaidyn shook his head, forcing his sight to clear. A pair of eyes stared anxiously back down at him
and drew him in, as though calling him on from somewhere. But from where? Where…
Kai!
He had definitely imagined that part, because this stranger, whoever he was, could not have known
his name, much less the one reserved for his closest friends.
Kai!
But he could not think any longer, he was falling, falling… and running again, running away from the
pain and the bile rising in his throat, escaping everything but the darkness that finally overtook him to
swallow him whole.

A lifelong resident of northern New Jersey, Dawn Altieri has been scribbling stories practically since birth. After reaching a milestone birthday (she won’t say which one), she figured it was about time she took a shot at writing professionally. With an overactive imagination and a slightly twisted mind, she enjoys reading dark and dangerous tales almost as much as writing them. When she’s not curled up on the sofa with her laptop, her latest story, a box of chocolates and a cup of tea (or a glass of wine, depending on the time of day), she can be found volunteering in the world of animal rescue. To keep a roof over her head, she works in the printing industry as a graphic production artist. She shares her home with her husband and daughter, and a menagerie of rescued fur-babies.

Emma made her way through the crowded sidewalks toward her apartment, struggling to
balance the plants, her groceries, and her purse. She could grab a cab, but at the rate traffic was
moving, she’d make it home faster if she walked. Maybe that wasn’t the best decision with
everything she had to carry, but New York City was alive with people enjoying the warmest
evening spring had offered so far. The fresh air carried a promise of invigoration and renewal she
desperately needed.
The sky took on an orange glow as the sun dipped between skyscrapers. As she traversed
the last few blocks toward her apartment building, darkness settled in more quickly than she’d
expected. She headed up the steps to the building’s entrance and shifted everything to one arm so
she could access the keypad next to the door with the other hand.
“Need help with that?”

She turned at the odd, raspy sound close behind her, like that of a man trying to disguise
his voice. A tall, muscular figure emerged from behind the potted shrubbery, dressed all in black
and wearing a ski mask that revealed nothing but his hazel green eyes.
A ski mask? In May?
He gripped her elbow and she gasped. The tray of flowers crashed to the concrete. Her bag
of vegetables tumbled to the ground and scattered in every direction. She managed a muffled cry
as he slapped a work glove-covered hand over her mouth, filling her nose with the stench of
rubber.
He spun her back to his chest and choked off her air with a thick arm around her neck.
“Shut up,” he snarled. The malicious command vibrated off her skin, sending a cold chill down
her spine. He stepped backward as if to drag her toward the corner of the building.
“Hey!” Mrs. Henderson from 5B hurried toward them, still in her scrubs after her shift at
New York Presbyterian. “Get your hands off her!”
The man released Emma so quickly she fell backward and landed hard on the stone planter
box next to the doorway. He stood frozen, his furious gaze fixed on her like a wild animal who’d
lost its prey and couldn’t decide whether or not to give up. She fought to memorize anything she
could about him, but it was all a blur once he turned and took off down the sidewalk.
Mrs. Henderson reached her side, grabbed her hands, and steadied her. “Emma, are you all
right?”
“Yeah,” she said as she stared down the street after her attacker, fighting for breath. “I’m
okay.”
But who the hell was that?
And oh my God. Had he just tried to abduct her?

NEW Snail Mail For Kids: Kids Get Personalized Letters in the Mail!

Kids love getting stuff in the mail. I know mine do. Snail Mail for Kids is a new opportunity for them to get something fun and personalized through the mail.

Snail Mail for kids will send your kids a personalized letter once a week. You can choose monthly, 3 month or 6 month plans. You kids or grand kids will receive letters personalized to them with fun things included like stickers, trading cards, souvenirs, and more.

I know my kids would be coming home from school going “Did my snail mail come in yet?” Everyone likes getting something fun in the mail right? Hmm maybe they should make this for adults too lol

I was surprised to see how affordable it was to get weekly mailings. You can get your first box for 50% off!

My question personally was, ok I have 2 kids that would enjoy this I guess I’d have to pay for 2 subscriptions. NOPE it actually says that if you have 2 children it says they can include 2 kids and 2 enclosures at no additional cost. I think that’s awesome. If you have more than 2 kids you can have the letters addressed to the entire family. IE The Smith Family. That’s awesome. As a mom of 4, so often I’ve had to pass on things because I just couldn’t afford to do it for everyone. It’s hard to get a subscription box for one kid then another kids going “Can I get one too?”

While some subscription services can get pretty expensive this one is much more affordable especially for families with multiple children!

I think this could be an interesting way to encourage reading in kids. My youngest is 6 years old and learning to read. She’s doing pretty well but, anything I can do to encourage a love of reading, I’ll try it.

Snail Mail for Kids is also giftable. Just choose the gift option.

At a table closest to the door, three people sat: a short, bald man, and two women. The
first had her blonde hair arranged in an elaborate style and lacquered into place by a liberal dose
of hair spray. She winced a little but had her head tilted in the direction of a wiry woman whose
lips were moving.
“This is how it works, Lola,” the woman explained while gesturing to the dancers. “The
man calls out the moves for the dancers, then they have to do what he tells them to do.”
“Eunice,” Lola sighed and managed an eye roll at the same time, “I know how square-
dancing works. This isn’t my first encounter, you know.”
“Ha!” Eunice tossed her head, bouncing her gray-threaded curls. “I figured that being a
former Vegas showgirl, your extent of dancing involved teetering around on high heels, waving
feather fans.”
The man sitting with them coughed, earning a sympathetic glance from Lola. “You okay,
Gus? Need some water?”
He met her gaze, then shook his head as he pushed up to standing. “Think I’ll go back to
my room and get some water.”
Both women watched Gus leave, then Eunice leaned closer to say, “He has no clue what
you said. He’s already hard of hearing, but with…” She gestured to a nearby speaker. “…the
music blasting, he doesn’t hear a word.”
While the music may have a few residents tapping their toes, it did nothing for those who
could hear. Lola pursed her lips and wrinkled her nose before speaking. “You’d think they’re
trying to deafen the rest of us. I’m leaving, too.” Lola reached for her walker and stood. She
glanced back over her shoulder to address Eunice’s earlier comment. “Showgirl routines are
choreographed. Some of it is quite complicated. We certainly never needed someone yelling
instructions on a microphone.”
Eunice gave a derisive sniff. Even though both she and Lola were part of Senior Sleuths,
a covert group within the center that solved cold cases, it was still fun to poke at the woman.
After all, what woman wouldn’t feel a little uncomfortable around a former showgirl. Getting the
aged blonde riled up evened the playing field, especially considering Eunice’s skinny form and
acerbic nature didn’t make her popular with the opposite gender. Thank goodness for Gus, who
had been waiting for a forceful woman to take charge of him.

Making friends was not something Eunice did easily. Her father once told her she should
laugh at the other children’s jokes and occasionally compliment them on something they did. He
also told her to be honest at all times. Talk about a paradox. It was hard to be honest and popular.
Eventually, she settled on being honest and helpful, even when the help wasn’t wanted. Was it
too late to change her ways? Better yet, did she want to?
One of the lady dancers, whose colorful skirt stood out with its multitude of petticoats,
interrupted Eunice’s reflections and invited her to join in. Someone had deliberately picked her.
Woo hoo! She jumped up and tried to ignore that most of the other attendees were in
wheelchairs. That had nothing to do with them picking her. Obviously, the dancer recognized in
Eunice a born square dancer.
